Description: U.S. Naval Security Group (NSG) community data resides in disassociated systems with no clear data      hierarchy. The NSG's lack of a central information framework wastes money, consumes manpower, and      underutilizes claimancy resources. To improve NSG data operations, an Enterprise Information System (EIS)      was designed and implemented using Commercial Off The Shelf hardware and software. First, an Internet      browser-based, client server architecture was selected that optimizes performance, interoperability, and cost.      Next, a database schema was designed and instantiated using relational technology. Then, web server database      access files were created that emphasize connectivity and utility. Finally, EIS integrity and privacy concerns      were examined. The prototype NSG EIS optimizes personnel and resources, improves data accuracy and      timeliness, and enhances the Naval Security Group's aggressive pursuit of information dominance. The      proposed NSG EIS provides the NSG with an affordable and efficient method to bring timely and accurate      information to bear in an increasingly information dependent military.
